Being forced by Mrs Nogger to watch some Christmas No 1 programme on the telly on Saturday night, and now I can't get Shakin' Stevens out of my head.It was quite amusing seeing Roy Wood attempting to get a cute little school girl to give him a peck on the cheek though. The look in her eyes said "I'm not kissing you you freak, I only said I'd do this so I could get the day off school."The...

#571, 7th June 1986, video Every year has its flukes but this is one of the more inexplicable – unknowns before and since, amiable psych revivalists by the look of their discography, scoring a massive international hit with this unexceptional cover. Everyone I knew hated it, but even so I suspect it was one for [...]
What am i holding onto? Sticking to what i know ie comfort zones? I don't care what circle i've created; it's an eighth circle of hell. The owls are not what they seem. Tawny, wise, misaligning. Some days i don't look out of the window. Tried my best; often failed. Helen said 'join us in a Christmas songs war'; magic. I did Wombles and Roy Wood, Freiheit, Whigfield's 'Last Christmas'. There's a Dubstep...
"That shit almost caught on," as my old chum Erik Frandsen used to say. In any case, from 1964, please enjoy Tom Paxton and his often covered folkie standard "The Last Thing on My Mind." And from 1970, behold in breathless wonder The Move 's astounding reimagining. To my surprise, the original is rather more touching than I recalled, albeit rather square, rhythmically; Paxton was,...
Dance-hall superstar Sean Paul will headline the Nov. 20 EaglePalooza music festival — which, for the first time, is open to the public and not just Florida Gulf Coast University students. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold to the public, says FGCU special events coordinator Tia Freiburger. Florida Gulf Coast University students still get in free and only need to show their student ID…
Strikes, recession, Labour Government on its last legs, Country bankrupt, ELP announce tour... It really is the '70's all over again.

ELP reformation... Whaddya think ? Laugh ? or Cry ? Me I dunno. I just hope they...
One of my Facebook friends is Kevin Walsh of Forgotten NY blog and book. He posted a video of one of my newer loves, Alvin Stardust on his Facebook wall. In the comments someone mentioned Roy Wood. The name was familiar but I couldn’t place him. So I looked him up on Youtube: I ask [...]
2212. Music makes the world go 'round. That's the way I think of it anyway. But musical acts are, in essence, not just a group of guys or gals or guys-n-gals getting together to play, get famous, and collect scads of fans – they're more than that. They're businesses, too – some very successful, the vast majority, not so. Bear in mind that, through this subsequent narrative, I am not a lawyer...
Seven goals in five games have confirmed Udinese's forward as one of Serie A's most consistent scorers around The kids aren't singing, nor the bells ringing any more than usual, but Roy Wood would certainly feel at home in Udine. If not every day, it's certainly beginning to feel like Christmas every time a batch of Serie A fixtures rolls around. In five league games so far this season, Udinese have...
Cliff Richard is a rock'n'roll pioneer, an accidental maker of experimental pop, and Britain's best exponent of sophisticated MOR. It's time we stopped treating him as a punchline "Every time he takes a microphone in his hand They scream and they shout And they know just what it's all about Cos there ain't another boy who can move it around like Cliff" They Call Him Cliff – Don Lang,...
Well, it's Friday and you know what that means. Yes, my Oriental boinkstress Technicolor Consultant Fah Lo Suee and I are off to Massachusetts, where we hope to confront Congressman Barney Frank about why he wants to send all his gay Jewish relatives to Obama's FEMA death camps. Well, not really, but I want to see if I can get a date with that little pixie-ish chick who was asking him about that stuff...
